    Food was great! Fresh and great taste! Our waiter Sean was amazing at providing us the best suggestions to try their menu! Falafel, Hummus, special cheese, and chocolate brûlée … were delicious!! We will definitely be back!!!

    The food is always outstanding. The wine list is quite limited but that would never stop us from visiting again and again. They do close quite early - at 930pm we were the only table left and felt a little rushed so the staff could go home. Maybe that’s normal in Vancouver …?

    Food and server were excellent. Only minor complaint was the time to get our food even after the lunch crowd had cleared out. Never had a bad meal at Nubas. great place to take our son who is vegan but also giving us meat and fish options.

    Nuba has excellent Lebanese food. Relaxing & elegant decor. Outdoor seating. Highly recommend. The majority of the menu is gluten-free (I am GF & dairy-free). I ordered the cauliflower and the staff offered me romaine hearts or cucumbers instead of flatbread. My friend ordered baba ganouj. She liked the flatbread. Both were delicious and there was enough leftover for dinner. Great staff who are knowledgeable about GF & DF.

    Nice atmosphere and drinks. Decent service and food. Overpriced and too hot inside. Won’t be coming back in the summer (maybe when the temperature drops).

    My friends and I visited this restaurant yesterday to celebrate our friend's birthday. I tried the Lamb Kafta for lunch a couple of months ago, so I recommended it to my friends. We ordered Lamb Kafta Kebab as a main dish on the dinner menu. It was a huge disappointment because they tweaked the dish for the dinner menu. While the kebab tasted good, the dish overall was lacking and confusing to say the least. Instead of pita bread they used regular toast bread. The portion was little compared to the value paid. When I brought this up to the server, she talked to the manager and he came and explained the dish to us. I told him I am from the middle east and consider myself familiar with different cuisines in that area. He said this is the North American interpretation of the cuisines and that he as Italian would go to Italy to try authentic Italian food because all Italian restaurants in Vancouver are American. He continued talking about the neighborhood and the chef who is Turkish and that this dish is Turkish. I didn't feel the need to comment but I was not convinced. He said they won't be charging for the Kebab dish and offered to serve us another dish and recommended the Bison Shawarma; Which was terrible. It was frustrating to see how they appropriated a very famous dish and presented it this poorly. It was basically shredded cooked beef on top of mashed potato. It tasted nothing like Shawarma. What a shame!

    Service was incredibly slow. Took over five minutes, closer to ten minutes to even get menus. Their wine list was being changed and I guess they were using up whatever wine they had left from the current list, so they basically had nothing available. My friend tried to order a glass of white, and nothing she picked was available. She tried to order three others. None of them were available either. I ordered a glass of red, and none that I wanted were available. They brought me a glass of one that was “similar” to one I’d tried to order and it was an odd colour, and tasted like vinegar. It was obviously spoiled. We ended up getting a couple glasses of sangria instead. Food was generally good, and the servers were friendly enough, but overall the service was so slow that if they had tried to turn our table over after 90 minutes, like the sign says on the door as you walk in that there’s a 90-minute limit per table, I would’ve said something because we waited so long for drinks and menus.
